Question

In calculating the number of employees who are required to fill a scheduled position, assume the following: one full-time employee works 40 hours per week (8 hours per day times 5 days). Therefore, one 8-hour shift per day times 7 days per week equals:_____.
A. 56 hours on duty
B. 84 hours on duty
C. 75 hours on duty
D. None of these is correct

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

What we are trying to get from the question is that the full time employee works 8 hours per day to get the total 40hours since it is for 5 days.

Now, we now have 7 days to work for with 8hours worked in a single day. The total number of hours worked here will thus be 7 * 8 = 56 hours of work

Answer 2

Answer:

A. 56 hours on duty.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 full-time employee = 40 hours/week = 8 hours per day times 5 days

Therefore, since 1 shift = 8 hours per day times 7 days

Hours of duty = 8 hours/day * 7days

= 56 hours on duty.
